Hey! Charlie Saxton here. I play Sam in the Labyrinth Theatre Companyʼs production of A Family For All Occasions. Playbill.com was kind enough to ask me to share what my day is like. Join me, wonʼt you?

My mornings usually begin in my hometown of Bristol, Pennsylvania. From there I take a Septa train to Trenton...

...and then a New Jersey transit train to New York.

You might think that the commute is a little extensive, (and youʼd be right) but the trains give me a chance to work on the script and shake any cobwebs that the morning brings.

I get by with a little help from my friends; aka my routine breakfast (sorry, mom).

Riding the train also gives me a chance to listen to new music and get me in the mood for the day.

But once I get into the city, I like to switch it up a bit.

Because personally, nothing makes me feel taller than listening to "Watch the Throne" while walking through Manhattan.

Hereʼs me with our costume designer, Gali. She loves when I say her name REALLY loud. Which is what Iʼm doing in this picture.

My entrances and exits mainly occur via Samʼs bedroom. So this is where I post-up backstage.

Labyrinth Theater Company's production of Bob Glaudini's A Family for All Occasions, which is directed by former Labyrinth co-artistic director Philip Seymour Hoffman, began performances April 25 Off-Broadway.

"Howard could use some decent conversation," according to press notes. "At the outset of his retirement, when he'd rather be enjoying the simple things in life, he's stuck dealing with his disconcerting, promiscuous daughter, his computer-obsessed, reclusive son, and his vastly overtired second wife. It's only when his daughter's latest suitor drops by after a hazy night that a family on edge is delivered to its inevitable, unforeseen fate."

The production also features scenic design by David Meyer, costume design by Gali Noy, lighting design by Japhy Weideman and sound design by Jill B.C. DuBoff.

The Bank Street Theater is located at 155 Bank St. Tickets start at $35. Visit labtheater.org or call (212) 513-1080.
